"Three sexy brothers and the women who love them"

3 BRIDES FOR 3 BAD BOYS by Lucy Monroe is the latest Brava single author anthology, and this anthology is certainly guaranteed to singe your fingertips.

3 BRIDES FOR 3 BAD BOYS features 3 brothers, who are connected by one father and 3 different mothers. Rand Alexander is six months older then his brother Carter. Always competing against each other, they both want Luna Island which belongs to Carter's former fiance Phoebe. In A DEAL IS A DEAL, Rand hears Phoebe say to her aunt and his brother's mother that she would gladly give Rand the island in exchange for a week in his bed. Phoebe is shell-shocked to realize that Rand heard her and that he agreed to it. Having been in love with Rand for four years, will she be able to give him up after a week or will Rand finally allow Phoebe into his heart?

In CARTER'S STORY, Carter ended his engagement to Phoebe four years earlier because of his attraction to Daisy Jackson. He met Daisy when she came to work for his computer firm, Carter feared that he was like his father and unable to make a firm commitment to anyone. So he walked away for four years, but now he is back and is not going to wait one more minute to kiss Daisy. But he has more then a kiss in his mind.

Daisy is surprised when her boss Carter, comes into her offie and announced his intentions to kiss her. Now after an encounter that was as explosive as a fireworks display, he tells her that they are to be married. Having been married once, Daisy had no intention of marrying again, but Carter has no intention of allowing her to say no.

In Colton's Story, Colton Denning wakes up in a strange hotel room in Las Vegas and next to a sleeping naked woman. What is worse is that he has no recollection of how he got there and who the woman is lying next to him. Kicking himself for doing something he swore he would never do, he dresses in a hurry and leaves a note for the mystery woman and hurries to Luna Island to meet his brothers. Fayre goes to Mexico looking for Colton ready to kick his behind. How dare he leave her alone in the hotel room? When she finds him she can't believe that he claims to not remember a thing about meeting her or their wedding. Now pregnant, she is determined to divorce Colton and go on with her life. Colton is dumbfounded to find the woman he left in Las Vegas tracked him down, but doubly so when he discovers she is his wife. Now Fayre wants a divorce and there is no way in heck that he is going to let that happen.

3 BRIDES FOR 3 BAD BOYS was awesome. I couldn't put it down and I know you won't be able to either. Each novella is hotter then the one before it. Rand, Carter and Colton may have been raised separately but there is no denying they are brothers. All three are determined to keep the woman they love and not let her slip away.

Lucy Monroe continues to show why she is gaining more and more fans with each book. I cannot recommend this book enough. The only thing I was sorry about in 3 BRIDES FOR 3 BAD BOYS was that it ended.

I know you are going to love this book as much as I did. It will certainly be one of those books that you take down from time to time for a reread.

Summary

Say "I Do"...to everything...

They're not the marrying kind—more the Do NOT Take Home to Mom kind. But these three brothers are about to meet the tempting women who have what it takes to tame their inner bad boys...

RAND

After tragedy struck six years ago, Rand buried what was left of his heart. But Phoebe Garrison isn't giving up, and she's got an enticing deal: the coveted deed to property his company needs in exchange for one hot week in her bed. It's an offer even the brooding Rand can't refuse. Now, as every hunger is explored, every secret revealed, Rand knows he'll need more than one week to indulge his fantasies with this amazing woman...

COLTON

Waking up in Vegas next to a naked showgirl named Fayre after a scorching night of passion puts a smile on Colton Denning's face—until he discovers she's his new wife. How could the stable, workaholic Colton have married such an unpredictable force of nature, a woman as likely to throw pottery as a kiss? But when it comes to tender love—and erotic war—Colton's discovering that all is Fayre...

CARTER

As marriage proposals go, Carter's offer to Daisy Jackson lacks romance: Marry me and I'll give you a half-a-million dollars. To fulfill the requirements of his father's lucrative will, he needs a wife, and Daisy needs the money. But after a wedding night of absolutely explosive sensuality, Carter wants more than an arrangement. He wants Daisy, to have, to hold, and everything else...

With these bad boys, you may kiss the bride is only the beginning...
